got a good deal (exhaust) but need to modify it- thoughts?

so I won this on ebay:


(the guy spelled the name "megan" wrong so no one really bid on it
I got
downpipe
testpipe
catback exhaust

all for $107.50!!

problem is the muffler is dented up.
i'm thinking of getting the longest restonator I can buy, then buy a nice LARGE muffler, cuz I want this as quiet as possible.
any thoughts what brands I should buy?

i cant tell what is dented in such a low quality pic but if the canister section is dented, it wont hurt anything. that section is just packed with sound deadening (glass etc).

yeah i know it's dented- in fact I hate the canister look - thus i'm replacing it.
